Metrolink Staircases The North East Manchester Business Park in Failsworth will be linked to the City Centre by Tram. The new station was designed by Auketts of London and is covered by a futuristic frisp shaped canopy. LM fabricated and installed the entire stainless steel balustrade and 2 access staircases, the staircases were designed with a central spine and ribs to support the treads.

Diagrid Roof The 100 tonne box section Diagrid Roof was fabricated from profiled plate sections; this allowed the Architect to have true 90 degree corners to the section as opposed to the rounded edges that are found on Rolled Hollow Section. The roof was a feature on the Paradise Street Redevelopment Project in Liverpool.

Mersey Wave The Spires that form the Mersey Wave, on Speke Boulevard near to the Jaguar factory were originally fabricated by another company, but the original design allowed the spires to flex in the wind. LM were contracted to refabricate the spires, the new design incoporated a Stainless Steel Lattice in the top half that allowed the wind to pass through.
